Why do traits that are at least beneficial to a species tend to decrease in frequency from generation to generation?
Traits that are beneficial to a species can decrease in frequency due to genetic drift, where chance events cause certain traits to become more or less common over time. Additionally, if the environment changes or if other competing traits become more advantageous, the previously beneficial trait may no longer offer the same advantages, leading to its decrease in frequency.

How is genetic diversity to beneficial to a species?
Crossing over causes genetic diversity. If there was no genetic diversity in a species, the species would be prone to extinction.

What is hybrid breakdown?
Hybrid breakdown is a phenomenon where the second generation hybrids (offspring of two different species mating) are less fit than the first-generation hybrids or the parent species. This can occur due to genetic incompatibilities, leading to reduced viability or fertility in the second generation.

Why is overproduction beneficial to certain species?
Overproduction is beneficial to certain species because it increases the chances of offspring surviving and passing on their genes. By producing a large number of offspring, species can compensate for high mortality rates in their environment, ensuring that some offspring will survive and reproduce. This strategy is particularly effective for species that face unpredictable and harsh conditions.
Explain how a species can change over time?
Through mutations in DNA. If a mutation is beneficial and helps the organism survive it is passed on to the next generation which leads to the evolution of a species causing it to change.
What does the term naturalized mean?
The process by which organisms that are better suited to their environment than others produce more offspring. As a result of natural selection, the proportion of organisms in a species with characteristics that are adaptive to a given environment increases with each generation. Therefore, natural selection modifies the originally random variation of genetic traits in a species so that alleles that are beneficial for survival predominate, while alleles that are not beneficial decrease. Originally proposed by Charles Darwin, natural selection forms the basis of the process of evolution.
How does reproduction lead to the continuation and evolution of a species?
Reproduction allows for the passing on of genetic information from one generation to the next, ensuring the continuation of the species. Through genetic variation resulting from reproduction, species can evolve over time as individuals with beneficial traits are more likely to survive and pass on their genes to the next generation. This process of natural selection drives the evolution of a species to better adapt to its environment.
How might a decrease in competition between species lead to the sudden appearance of new species?
The decrease in competition between species can lead to the sudden appearance of many new species because by the time there is a decrease between species more species are developing and that is causing more species to appear so suddenly.

Could animals species decrease in captivity?
Yes. If animal in captivity stop breeding then the species would decrease.
Why an egg is a beneficial to have as a species?
Well and egg is not a specific species. What kind of egg are you talking about?
When do you think cloning is beneficial?
Cloning is beneficial when an animal species or other organism species is becoming extinct. By cloning them, there will be more of them now, and enough of them to reproduce and naturally restore the population.

What would happen if individuals in a species were sterile?
Then it would be the end for that species in one generation.
Why would eliminating sea stars cause the number of species to decrease?
There are 1,500 species sea stars...so eliminating them would decrease the number of species by 1,500. Any species that rely on sea stars for food will be adversely affected as well.
